Re: Build failure :-(

I've build successfully 21.0 "Uzbek Black" and now
tried to build
"Benadir" but got a segmentation fault. The only difference in setup
between the two builds is a newer version of egcs (currently: gcc
version egcs-2.91.51 19980714).
I'm running Linux 2.1.108 and use a glibc 2.1 snapshot on i486.
Now I'm trying to build a minimal xemacs that has
debugging/error
checking enabled with gcc 2.7.2.3. I'll tell the results.
Linux 2.1.1xx is wildly unstable. I have no idea what the current
stability of the glibc 2.1 snapshots is. I know egcs is approaching a
1.1 release, but I also know that occasionally a weekly snapshot is a
turkey (just like some betas of XEmacs are turkeys :-().
Sorry, that's too much alpha software to attribute failure to XEmacs
without further evidence.
Good luck with the gcc 2.7.2.3 test. Don't forget the
-fno-caller-saves flag ...
